I usually like to post what we do at the Elf Barn. This weekend was a little different but somehow connected to the though. My wife and I took @SipLife to University of Texas at Austin to get tooled up on college and mechanical engineering in particular. Some of the work at the Elf Barn is revealing some interests it appears. His younger brother @Cowboy45 also tagged along for an awareness tour. Life skills at the barn will hopefully help with their college applications. Both seem to be leaning toward mechanical engineering. It is was a fun trip. The campus is great. A challenging and rewarding environment for sure.
Check out FSAE (Formula Society of Automotive Engineering) with them. I am very involved with my school's team (University of Central Florida). It's a completely new realm of automotive experience that will change the way they work and view car and truck projects that's hard to get elsewhere. Also an immediate circle of similar minded friends. Highly recommended. Both UT Austin and Arlington campuses have improving teams.
And you can't get in classic college trouble if you're too busy building race cars
Thanks for the great advice Matt!!! I will definitely look into it! UT Austin is a strong consideration.
Wow... this thread rocks. Love what you're doing with your boys and how the Elf Barn is facilitating so much more than idle tinkering. Good on you man. It's inspired me to think hard about how I work with my boys in the coming years.
This thread has just moved into my Mud Top 10 list... and now I have 4 other build threads I have to go read. =)
